Social Studies Video List

This is a list of YouTube Videos we have found helpful.  Sometimes YouTube takes videos down if they shouldn't have been posted, sorry if there are broken links.  I just searched for videos for the topics we were studying.  I give first preference to videos from historical sites, museums and parks, next TV stations like PBS, History Channel, National Geographic, and finally well produced videos from private sources.  Some are just for fun like School House Rock.

Religion Lesson - What Jews Believe: G-d

I have started using courses on  www.chabad.org  for our home religious school for our middle schoolers.  We just finished their most recent course on prayer taught by Rabbi Shmuel Kaplan. ( Discover the Heart of Prayer )  It was such a successful educational experiment, I decided to use the course by Rabbi Manis Friedman, What Jews Believe , for our second unit.  Chabad has an app called Jewish.tv that will stream the videos, but there is some benefit from going to the website, cause there are handouts, discussion questions, and quizzes.

To prepare the kids for this lesson, we talked about the human brain.  We talked about how a baby learns to talk.  We start by playing naming games with our babies - mama, d...
